GoldmanSachs666 Message Board

Fraud*According to the Collins English Dictionary 10th Edition fraud can be defined as: "deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage".[1] In the broadest sense, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual; the related adjective is fraudulent. The specific legal definition varies by legal jurisdiction. Fraud is a crime, and also a civil law violation. Defrauding people or entities of money or valuables is a common purpose of fraud, but there have also been fraudulent "discoveries", e.g. in science, to gain prestige rather than immediate monetary gain*As defined in Wikipedia

Counteraction: I don't think Paulson had a clue what the prevailing mood was as he didn't even think there was a problem until the problem hit him in the face. In any case, no one knows for sure what was on Paulson's mind and others disagree with Lenzner here.

Counteraction: Well, that is hard to believe when you read that Paulson conferred with Blankfein before deciding on the AIG bailout. See here and here

3. Goldman Sachs did not need the bailout in 2008.

Counteraction: Perhaps Buffett's $5 billion prevented Goldman Sachs from going bankrupt or perhaps Goldman Sachs became a Bank Holding Company in order to take advantage of money from the Federal Reserve which would have prevented it from becoming insolvent. It doesn't matter which action prevented GS from becoming insolvent. See here.

4. Goldman is not interested in taking over Europe.

Counteraction: As the Levin/Coburn report pointed out, Goldman Sachs does not always look after their clients when a bit of profit is to be made from them. As they have shown in the past, Goldman does not care about their "largest competitiors, counterparties, clients or creditors;" they care about profits, not people. The big thing is that Goldman Sachs is TBTF and can depend on government to bail them out no matter what they do. See here.

Goldman Sachs is not a conspiracy; it is a fact that Goldman is everywhere. See here.

5. Goldman's derivatives are always hedged.

Counteraction: Yes, Goldman's derivatives are created to their advantage and to the detriment of the world. See here.

We have been documenting and gathering information for this site from all over the Internet. Economists, writers, journalists, consultants to financial firms, commentators, politicians, humorists, etc., have come forward and told the many truths about Goldman Sachs.

Cohan, Barry Ritholtz, Robert Scheer, Marshall Auerback, Chris Hedges, James Galbraith, Alan Grayson, Bernie Sanders, Carl Levin, Tom Coburn, Greg Palast, Joseph Stiglitz, Andy Borowitz, and Simon Johnson and a host of others.

Sincerely

Lenzner is employed by MSM..he will talk out of the central theme at times to gain credibility but will always run home to mama ie MSM.

According to Bloomberg Radio 1/2 of WFC tier one capital is in the form of home equity loans. These loans cannot preform as expected which thereby will make WFC insolvent in much the same manner as has been illustrated by MFG.. However, there is no illegality of commingling, instead we have fraudulent accounting, mark to model, and inadequate collateral to find yield.

"The United States government does not want legal protection for us," he said, referring to a US Justice Department investigation into his whistle-blower website for releasing secret diplomatic and military documents.

The former hacker criticised journalists and the mainstream media for becoming too cosy with the powerful and secretive organisations they were supposed to be holding to account.

In a 40-minute address, he also accused credit card companies such as Visa and Mastercard of illegally cutting WikiLeaks off from funding under a secret deal with the White House.

"Issues that should be decided in open court are being decided in back rooms in Washington," he said.

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson Tipped Off Prominent Hedge Funds Regarding Fannie Mae While Telling the US Senate and General Public a Different Story

I have on numerous occasions made the claim that Henry Paulson is guilty of coercion and fraud. For those actions, he should be arrested and criminally tried.

However, the latest disclosure in which hedge funds say they were tipped off by Paulson while he told Congress and reporters blatant lies is allegedly not even criminal behavior.

Who Was at the Meeting?

Mindich, a former chief strategy officer of New York- based Goldman Sachs, started Eton Park in 2004 Daniel Stern of Reservoir Capital Group Singh, a former head of Goldman’s proprietary-trading desk, also began his fund in 2004, in partnership with private- equity firm Texas Pacific Group Ltd. Frank Brosens, founder and principal of Taconic Capital Advisors LP, who worked at Goldman as an arbitrageur and who was a protege of Robert Rubin, who went on to become Treasury secretary. Non-Goldman Sachs alumni who attended included short seller James Chanos of Kynikos Associates Ltd., who helped uncover the Enron Corp. accounting fraud; GSO Capital Partners LP co-founder Bennett Goodman, who sold his firm to Blackstone Group LP (BX) in early 2008; Roger Altman, chairman and founder of New York investment bank Evercore Partners Inc. (EVR); Steven Rattner, a co-founder of private-equity firm Quadrangle Group LLC, who went on to serve as head of the U.S. government’s Automotive Task Force.

What did PIMCO know and When?

Anyone who says they do not remember a meeting like that is a liar. Anyone who says "no comment" is indeed commenting and the possible interpretation is not pretty. So what else did Paulson say?

Today, BusinessWeek's Michael Serrill and Jonathan Neumann have released a blockbuster report based on a FOIA response by the Treasury, which proves that in America rules are only for little people, that this country has been a banana republic for years, that Animal Farm was spot on, and gives excruciating detail of how Hank Paulson tipped off a select group of Goldman diaspora hedge fund managers about the eventual failure of Fannie and Freddie 7 weeks ahead of this information becoming public knowledge.

Where it however gets worse is when one considers the actual role of one Eric Mindich in the hierarchy of the Asset Managers' committee of the President's Working Group on Capital Markets, better known of course as the PPT: a topic we discussed first back in September 2009 when we asked "What Is Goldman Alum Eric Mindich's Role As Chair Of The Asset Managers' Committee Of The President's Working Group?" Back then we did not get an answer. Luckily, courtesy of a few answered FOIA requests, some real investigative journalism, and not reporting for the sake of brown-nosing just so one can get soundbites for their next name dropping "blockbuster" and straight to HBO movie, we are starting to get the full picture of just how high in US government the Goldman Sachs controlled "crony capitalist" adminsitration truly runs.

Famous Quotes

The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the greatest liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. … H.L. Mencken

An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it…James Albert Michener, novelist (1907-1997)

It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. … Thomas Paine 1737-1809, Anglo-American Political Theorist, Writer

Laws just or unjust may govern mens actions. Tyrannies may restrain or regulate their words. The machinery of propaganda may pack their minds with falsehood and deny them truth for many generations of time. But the soul of man thus held in trance or frozen in a long night can be awakened by a spark coming from God knows where and in a moment the whole structure of lies and oppression is on trial for its life.: Sir Winston ChurchillWhen governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. - Thomas Jefferson

When cheaters prosper, we end up with the worst possible system and to call it a free market system is an obscenity. -William BlackWhen the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." - Thomas JeffersonI believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. Thomas Jefferson - 1802

Don't be afraid to see what you see.

When the people and the government fear Banksters like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, there is economic dictatorship that will destroy the very fabric of our existence as a civilized society.Mike Morgan

Let me control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws.Meyer Amsheil Rothschild
